This reminds me of the story [1] about Facebook intentionally breaking parts of its Android app for some users (including crashing or disabling functionality), to see how far it could degrade before users stopped using Facebook.

According to reports, users did not stop coming back even when the app was broken for hours.

A similar thing happened to me when playing some initial version of The Binding of Isaac on Linux, when it was made with Flash. Its performance wasn't the best but I couldn't stop playing.

So if people still returns maybe Anthropic has something great going on with Claude Code.
